Diavet and Bwé ponds

Other bodies of water - Le Gosier

Ponds, some of which can be quite small, are a common feature of limestone islands such as Grande Terre. Most develop naturally in the impermeable clay soil, or result from rising groundwater, fed by rainwater runoff. Others are artificial. The ponds once provided water for cooking, irrigation, and cattle watering. Whether permanent or temporary, they offer refuge to a diverse, distinct type of wildlife and flora (aquatic turtles, cane toads, moorhens, etc.). These two ponds are now maintained as picnic sites, and are equipped with lighting facilities.
